Have had Freecom tv installed on my lap top for some time now. But can’t find an arial that will give me a picture and sound. All the ones i have tried give ‘low signal’ and nothing. The only picture/sound i have had is when i plug it into the tv arial at home. Any suggestions for a good arial? Has any one an arial that works. It has to be portable though as am on agency. Thanks.
What spec is your laptop?
The reason I ask is that I had my Freecom setup on an IBM ThinkPad T21 and it displayed exactly the same symptoms.
I have recently sold the T21 and now have a Dell Precision M50. I got the Freecom setup on it and set off with the laptop in the car. When I got to a bit of open ground, I plonked the magnetic stick antenna on the car roof and plugged it into the Freecom and fired it up.
It worked - perfectly!!
I can only conclude that there were issues with the video memory in the IBM (8MB) as the Dell has an NVidia Quadra 64MB adapter in it.
Has anyone got one of those Thompson antennas? they look like they should work ok. My freecom works fine in a city or town but in the stcks I get no signal
